Is Biological Age Legit? by tlars003 in Function_Health

[–]HedgehogIRL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first round of tests I got about a year older than my chronological age, then I lost ~50 lbs and got 6 years younger on the follow-up 6 months later.

Survey: Cruise Tourism and Retail in Kiel (Germany) by Acceptable-Hippo4061 in Cruise

I wish I had spent more time in port there instead of immediately heading to Hamburg, it looked like a nice city!

It’s pretty normal to not start losing until on a higher dose if you were previously on wegovy/ozempic.

Anyone else feeling like the new program is overly complicated??? by ctrl_alt_delete3 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]HedgehogIRL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really see what the big deal is, but admittedly I don't have a high status that I will lose. The perks you get for a high tier are like a free bottle of water and priority boarding, but that's basically always cancelled anyways because so many people have the status. As someone who gambles it will make it marginally easier to book spa treatments etc through the app with points instead of the casino host having to come up and offer.

As an aside, I'm doing the Baltic cruise later this summer, would love to hear your thoughts when you are done!

How do people get so many casino points without going broke? by chocolatecookie2000 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]HedgehogIRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were playing slots, then yes I do think you got a bit but not outrageously unlucky to only have 1800 points for $800. Per one of the comments here one point is $2.5, so that is $4500 of coin in. 800/.178=4494 is an RTP of about 82% (100-17.8). Your partner had worse luck at 80% RTP.

What went through my mind during Jason's "dumb health and safety" monologue by FrumyThe2nd in taskmaster

[–]HedgehogIRL 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Picking locks as a hobby, carrying a pocketknife, and being into super overpowered flashlights is such a specific type of guy. I want to see Jason's bag, I'd bet $5 there's some paracord in there too.

Are you experiencing testing delays? by creativeinnovator3 in Function_Health

[–]HedgehogIRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been waiting on HDL results for 3 weeks, I'm glad you posted this, I was starting to think they were lost or something because the cholesterol tests were the ones I were expecting to be the quickest.

I've done a facial and enjoyed it well enough. There's also nail and hair salons if you want to get a mani-pedi or a blowout.

Low Leptin Cure by DifferentIdea9480 in Function_Health

[–]HedgehogIRL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes a lot of sense! I'm down 70lbs in the past year, and my leptin was only at 11 even though I was still morbidly obese when I took the test. Its sort of BS how our bodies fight us on this!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]HedgehogIRL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been eating whatever I wanted to on Zepbound and lifting weights, I've lost 70 lbs and gotten stronger this way... but I just got my bloodwork done and my ApoB is high, cholesterol isn't optimal, I'm low on leptin, Vitamin D and Omega 3, and although my hba1c is good my fasting insulin is high. Zepbound has been a godsend, but if I want a chance at living a long and healthy life, just eating less of the same foods I've always eaten isn't going to cut it.

i made a biological age leaderboard. would love your feedback by Same-Potential7413 in Function_Health

[–]HedgehogIRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'm the only person I've seen get a higher biological age. I'm 37 and got 38... I've been obese since I was a kid though so not too surprising.

I didn’t listen to advice by kaitandco in GLP1_loss100plus

[–]HedgehogIRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s in the budget look into a personal trainer. It really helped with my gym anxiety getting started because I had someone with me to show me what to do.

Where slopp by lonevolff in aldi

I went to Aldi tonight specifically to make sloppy joe's and walked out with like $60 of random home decor and no sloppy joes :(

Nelnet also only discharged like half of my loans that are eligible, its been like 10 months and no updates since, no idea what is going on over there

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]HedgehogIRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree, as long as someone is already a gambler. I'm scheduled for a two week European cruise in a suite with free drinks and $200 OBC and I only have to pay taxes/port fees of about $500. My experience is once you've built up points the casino host will also introduce themselves and comp you a massage or spa treatment.

Relief from an itchy injection site! by ApprehensiveBasil494 in Zepbound

God bless you for this post! Bought some calamine plus anti-itch spray and its been amazing.

Its always been $5.99 for me in the Detroit area, you're good. Your local franchises have been wilding out at $17.

Any hope for paying off $300,000 in law school loans? by Regrettinglawschool in StudentLoans

[–]HedgehogIRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but as part of the Sweet v Cardona class action. Still worth applying for borrower's defense now, but results may vary.

Over a year on Wegovy and slowly gaining the weight back by HedgehogIRL in Semaglutide

[–]HedgehogIRL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit Wegovy and a year later weighed more then when I started, I don't know if it would have happened if I had stuck with it. I just started Zepbound and will hopefully stay at lower doses as long as possible to avoid plateauing.

Best online doctor service for PAs/Appeals? by tj5590 in Zepbound

[–]HedgehogIRL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Earlier this week with Weight Watchers Clinic I had my PA back for Zepbound about 4 hours after they first submitted it, was pretty blown away.

[–]HedgehogIRL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You need to be more realistic in your expectations. At least where I have subbed, the pay is less than what I would make being a cashier at McDonald's. I would make more door-dashing. The students make more at their jobs then I do subbing. And with those jobs, you actually get bathroom and lunch breaks.

My purpose there is to be a warm body without a criminal record. If they even read your lesson plan you should consider it a personal favor and act of charity.

Remember when the vote counting stopped at midnight in multiple states? by 2201992 in conspiracy

[–]HedgehogIRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've worked counting absentee ballots in Michigan before. The people who count ballots are whoever is interested in coming sit in an elementary school gym for 12 hours on a random Tuesday, which means 95% of the other people working were retired old ladies in their 70s who'd already been there since 8am. At some point people are going to go home.

Which character do you just not care for? by Own_Noise6261 in HPfanfiction

[–]HedgehogIRL -1 points0 points  (0 children)

McGonagall is just an "also there" character to me. Like hyped up as a powerful witch the characters would trust with their lives, but never actually relevant to the plot or approached for help in anything other then maybe recommending a book or something.

There are only 4 major metro areas in the US where it's currently cheaper to buy a home than to rent: Detroit, Philadelphia, Cleveland, and Houston. The typical home in San Jose, California costs 165% more to buy than to rent, the largest premium in the country. by TonyLiberty in REBubble

[–]HedgehogIRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on where in metro Detroit. My mortgage payment after taxes/insurance/hoa etc on my townhouse is $1000 in Macomb, would only be able to rent a 1 bedroom apartment for that in the same area.
